SOC 2

SOC 2 is the gold standard for security for growing SaaS companies. Getting your SOC 2 shows that your company can keep customer and client data safe. It also helps your company attract new business and maintain current clients.

A SOC 2 Information Security Management System (ISMS) helps to make sure information is always appropriately protected to assist with the preservation of:

• Confidentiality – ensuring that access to information is appropriately authorised.
• Integrity – safeguarding the accuracy and completeness of information and processing methods.
• Availability – ensuring authorised users have access to information when required.

This report evaluates the design of your organisation’s controls at a specific time. It is useful for organisations that want to demonstrate that they have established sound controls for their systems and processes but have not yet had time to implement them fully.

Industries that can benefit from a SOC 2 Type 1 report include:

• Healthcare
• Financial services
• FinTech

This report assesses the efficiency of your organisation’s controls. It is beneficial for organisations aiming to prove that their controls have been fully implemented and are functioning effectively.

Security: Referred to as the Common Criteria, this is a requirement for all SOC 2 reports.

Availability: Availability refers to the accessibility of information used by the entity’s systems and the products or services provided to its customers.

Confidentiality: Confidentiality pertains to safeguarding confidential information from creation to disposal according to management’s objectives.

Processing integrity: Processing integrity refers to the completeness, validity, accuracy, timeliness, and authorisation of system processing.

Privacy: Personal information is collected, used, retained, disclosed, and disposed of to meet the entity’s objectives. Although confidentiality applies to various types of sensitive information, privacy applies only to personal information.

As ‘Bring Your Own Device’ or BYOD rises in popularity, with more than two-thirds of us using a personal device at work, it’s important for businesses to understand the security risk that this can pose.

In a world where identities are the new security perimeter, compromising identity platforms like AD and AAD provides the greatest payoff for attackers, ultimately giving them control of all users, systems and data within the organisation.

In the ever-evolving world of cybersecurity, understanding emerging threats is critical to maintaining a robust defence. One trend currently attracting attention is the registration of .ZIP domains.
